Christmas in July


I don't want Christmas to sneak up on me this year,   so when Christmas decor starting showing up on the shelves at my favorite places to shop.......I knew it was time to start planning for Christmas 2020.       I went thru my photo's showing how I have decorated our home in the past and picked a few out to give me some inspiration for this year.     My photo's also remind me of what I already have on hand to use again this year......and also to make me realize I don't really need to buy anything new....lol!





 











I hope you were able to get inspiration for  your 2020 Christmas decorating and maybe found a couple of ways to use things you already have on hand in a new way!

    I always love your Christmas decorations, but I think your trees and Santa collection are wonderful. Thank you for all the work you do to inspire us.

    My thoughts exactly. I am turning 70 (!) soon, shocking in itself, but this year I am starting early.In September I plan to do the basement level, which is a walkout at ground level and finished. Usually I do holiday in November, but have run out of steam the last few years and the lower level gets left out. Enjoy your photos, love that one with chickens. I adore Christmas decor and at this point have to admit who knows how many more? So am staring earlier and leaving up longer.

    Penny, I love how you pick themes for all your rooms and vignettes.I've only visited two Christmas posts, the rest went immediately to delete. But, I really enjoyed these, the Buffalo checks were lots of fun. I know I'm editing my Christmas this year, as soon as our plumbing project is done! SOON, I hope. But, I will be making mini's for the dolls soon. And I'm going to keep your darling themes in mind! Sandi

    Penny, You are true artist. How I love to get your emails. I look forward to them like a kid waiting for Christmas. I thought the jar on its side with the pink mini Christmas trees and old pearls streaming out is such a cleaver idea. I love the chandelier. I just bought me one from an online auction, but it's not like the beauty you have in your home. There is so much beauty to appreciate from days gone bye and you bring back those wonderful memories. I don't know why our young people and not even the 40 and 50 year olds appreciate our past. I am like you, love the past. I just bought a pair of old Victorian couples as lamps and then I found at another auction with a trio of musicians in the Victorian dress. They are occupied Japan era. They are so beautiful. It is so much fun finding things to decorate with.
    Thanks Penny for all the wonderful things you and Mr H do to inspire all of us.
    God Bless you both always.

    I loved the first Christmas photo the best with the pink and white. The red wagon is such a cute idea to use as a Christmas tree stand! I would love to have you come and join Centerpiece Wednesday Linky Party and share your idea with us.

    Your Christmas decor looks absolutely lovely, Penny, and is great inspiration to help us all plan for Christmas 2020. It's also refreshing to see when things are so challenging at the moment in so many places. Thank you so much for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party.

    Well, I hope we get to see this at TTA this week! I'm bummed it wasn't ready for last week's party, as I featured Christmas in July! Maybe I can figure out how to sneak this in! ;-)
